We have a rather special 1961 BMW 700 Sport. On the 12th July 1961 was supplied to a Mr Paolini, in 1964 it was modified for racing.. It held entry to the Italian Turismo 700 championships. Drivers such as Mario Moscatelli and Lanfranco Caneschi actually raced the car between `64 and `67\. It took part in numerous events such as; Monza, Coppa Galenga Roma, Trofeo Sanremo, Coppa A.C. Bologna Imola, Coppa Della Collina Pistoia, Pieve S. Stefano Passo Dello Spino Arezzo, Coppa Della Sila Cosenza, Agordo Frassene Asiago, Trieste Opicina, Ascoli Colle S. Marco Ascoli, Coppa Teodori, Conchiglia Shell, Vallelunga Roma. This tremendous historic racing provenance has been caught in the many photographs of the time as well as being mentioned in two Italian magazines; the Autosprint and the Auto Italiana. In comparison to the standard version the Sports` had 50% more power, was 50 kg lighter and had a pair of Solex downdraught carburettors. Notably it was the first car to beat the quick Abarth`s. This 700 Sport has been completely restored and mechanically overhauled with a keen eye to authenticity and detail! The bodywork is in excellent condition with the good body panel fitting and an underbody free from any rust. The very neat interior is in a superb condition. This unique BMW 700 Sport has a great provenance and would, of course, be supremely suitable for many historic rallies! Gallery Aaldering is Europe's leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!
